    The descent from James Phelps (bc 1520) and his wife Joan to their grandsons, the emigrants William and George, is documented. The research done by Mr.s Arthur Beal for her Colonial Dames membership give James' father as richard Phelps of Nether Tyne, Staffordshire, who died in the reign of Edward IV (1461-1483). the chard done for the Rev. John Phelps Ellsworth shows a coat of arms given to Joseph Phelps (d. 1579), mayor of Evesham, Worchestershire, who married Margaret tomes, dau. of John Tomes, who had the son James, the father of William Phelps, Mayor of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
    
    William, Richard and George, sons of William of Tewkesbury, came to Dorchester, New England, in the Mary and John in 1630. Of Richard, the youngest of the three brothers, we have this record: "Richard Phelps, 17 years old, embarked for the Islands of Barbadoses, 2 May, 1635, in the ship Alexander, Capt. Birch, and Gilbert Grimes, master." And of him we hear no more. William and George became the ancestors of the larger proportion of the American families of Phelps.
